I have tried Honey-Do and Helpful Husband personally. Honey-Do was a nightmare pretty much but I can't say enough good things about Helpful Husband. They have always showed up on time, done a great job and charge less than anyone else I called. I think their website is helpfulhusband.com, but I originally found them on Yelp. Good luck with whomever you go with but I'd give HH a call first.

Whom ever you choose, be sure they have Workers Comp Insurance. If not and they injure themselves while in your employment you could lose the farm...
That's fact, not fiction...

When in doubt, Yelp em' out. Make sure to look & see how many reviews the business (handyman in this case) has & especially the amount of Yelping activity the reviewers have produced. Not many "reputable" handyman reviews in the Tri-Valley area but the Handsome Handyman out of Oakland seems to be the top vote getter.

Rick Decker of S & R Services (925-462-3150) has been a knowledgeable, effective, efficient, responsible, and reasonable handyman. He has worked for three families on our block over the years, all of whom have been pleased with his work. There probably isn't a good reason to look out of town for a handyman when there are great local people.

Nobody is posting the hourly rates they have paid. For P-Towners that have hired a handyman what are you paying? $50 an hour for Helpful Husband and I think it was $65 for Honey-Do.
